Penn National Gaming is discussing potential deals with US major leagues as it expands its offering amid sports betting’s liberalization.

As sports betting has been cleared to be legalized nationwide in the US, companies in the gaming industry are planning to expand in the country. However, as major sports leagues are lobbying to get their share of the pie, Penn National Gaming (the largest U.S. regional gaming company by states) is pursuing a sports betting deal with the NBA, MLB, NLH and the PGA Tour.

Senior vice president for public affairs for Penn National, Eric Schippers, revealed that the company has been holding discussions with the basketball, baseball, ice hockey and golf leagues. However, he explained that the NFL, which oversees American football, hasn’t been willing to discuss a deal with them.

PNG would follow MGM Resorts’ lead, which signed a deal with the NBA and became the first company in the industry to come to an agreement with one of the major leagues on sports wagering. The company will receive access to the NBA’s data feed and will be able to advertise on its platform, as will the NBA the other way around.
